Lo-Fi in the 90s
Tape hiss, four-tracks, and more - we explore the world of lo-fi in the 90s and ask if it's just a recording technique or a genre of music
Lo-fi isn't unique to the 1990s, but it is the first decade that the recording technique (meaning literally "lo-fidelity") merged with indie rock and take on a genre identity. Artists like Pavement, Sebadoh, Guided By Voices, Liz Phair, and more found their bedroom and basement recordings appealing to more than just a tape-trading crowd with the advent of cheap CD reproduction and small labels with better distribution. But it begs the question - is lo-fi simply a recording technique based on circumstance, or an aesthetic choice? Ryan Allen - Vocals And Guitar, Extra Arms, Reed Strength - Music Writer
